Fascist who attacked conservative protesters with bike lock goes free

Fascism means never having to say you’re sorry: Eric Clanton, the fascist masked antifa protester who used a bike lock to smash conservative protesters on the head has struck a deal with Berkeley prosecutors that dismisses most of the charges against him and subjects him merely to three years prohibition.

Eric Clanton had been linked by police to violent assaults with a metal bike lock during a “free speech” rally in Berkeley on April 15, 2017. Before his arrest, Clanton had been “outed” online, on the website 4chan, as someone who used a bike lock to strike a man in the head. The assault was captured in a video clip that drew widespread attention and anger after it was posted on YouTube.

Wednesday, Clanton was supposed to have had his preliminary hearing, where a judge decides whether there’s enough evidence in a case for it to move ahead to trial. Instead, there was no hearing, and information about Clanton’s plea deal became available online.

According to Alameda County Superior Court records, Clanton entered a “no contest” plea Wednesday to one misdemeanor battery charge. The felony charges against him were dismissed, and an allegation that he had caused serious bodily injury was stricken. A misdemeanor charge that Clanton wore a mask during the commission of the crime also was dropped.

I am not surprised. Leftists are never called to account for their evil acts, no matter how well documented. Clanton has temporarily lost his college teaching job, but don’t worry for him. I am sure some college will soon hire him. He has all the right qualifications!

And if you doubt the evil that this man did, watch the video at the link. Though it is difficult to identify him in that clip, other evidence links him to this violent act of smashing another person in the head with a bike lock.

Three years from now, when his prohibition ends, I am sure he will be out there again, using violence to attack anyone who disagrees with him. And don’t be surprised if he comes for you next:

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    This kinda cements the belief that there are two categories of justice. Strict adherence to the law for the right and wrist-slapping for the left.

    Based Stickman didn’t get off this easily and he was just defending himself from these black shirt Democrats. In fact, his daughter was also punished by the California college system.

    Hopefully, there will be civil action taken by Clanton’s victim. Not sure why he wasn’t prosecuted with attempted murder or whatever the equivalent charge is in California because hitting someone in the head with dense metal objects has a high likelihood of death or life altering injuries.

    THE WEAKNESS AND DANGER OF THE LEFT AND THE MEDIA

    I present two examples.

    1. Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago. https://youtu.be/eHa3_plFRzw

    And

    2. Chris Cuomo, CNN talking head and opinionator. https://youtu.be/iaWo03PtUl4

    Listen to both grown and Liberal even leftist men, shining examples of Democrat leadership. One is weak as toilet water, a politically empowered but auto castrated Liberal “man” Mayor and identifies everything that is wrong with the morals of the citizens of Chicago who kill with abandon their fellow Chiagonians (?) but will do absolutely nothing related to proactive policing to confront this genocide. “Its their fault, what can I do about it?” A complete surrendering of his fiduciary responsibilities. He must be rejected and dismissed with extreme prejudice.

    And the other a CNN political dynasty son of the Left gives reason and purpose and even a moral defense to the violent actions of the members of ANTIFA. He has chosen a side and in his opinion ANTIFA and what it does is fully justified, no matter what harm or violence they do. Really? He also needs to be dismissed with extreme prejudice.

    Both of these American men in positions of power and influence are the problem with America. They by their commentary and actions promote violence, chaos and the destruction of America and I have to ask: To be rebuilt in what form? Socialist? Communist? Worse?

    So when Trump says” The media is the enemy of the American people” he is absolutely correct because he means people like this man / boy Mayor, Rahm Emanuel and the CNN opinionator Chris Cuomo. The First Amendment is going nowhere, who needs to go are these enemies of the people who pose as leaders and informed moral judges.

    As things heat up, where are the Leftist activists going?

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-48978394

    They are now in their insane contortions attacking government installations housing ILLEGAL immigrants. I suppose to liberate them?

    I do not know much about this particular incident and who has perpetrated it but this does seem to be a next level to the extreme Leftist, not traditional Democrat, and their need to set something very violent off in order to I suppose bring about the change they soooo desperately see is needed in our country.

    I think in the end this will without doubt result in the official classification of ANTIFA and associated organizations as domestic terrorists and will be dealt with in an appropriate manner. This particular operator payed for his foolish and anti American actions unfortunately with his life.

    But again, that was his choice. So foolish and delusional.

    “He was found shot dead at the scene. A police official said it could not yet be confirmed who was responsible for his death.”

    I think it is well understood who was responsible for the mans death here, not much of a mystery.
